Find the Best Azay-le-Ferron Bed and Breakfast

"I stayed in this hotel 20 years ago as well as recently and really like the fact that it is an historic building and right in the centre of Loches. The people running it are very pleasant and helpful."

"We stayed at Walnut Lodge from 22nd to 29th July 2025 while attending a wedding at a nearby château just 5 minutes away—and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The location was absolutely ideal, tucked away in a peaceful setting yet just 10 minutes from La Roche-Posay, home to an incredible spa, casino, and plenty of local shops and restaurants serving fantastic food.There’s also a lovely market held twice a week that’s well worth a visit.Our hosts, Lisa and Bryan, were exceptional from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their beautiful home and gîtes—set against a stunning backdrop—were truly a sight for sore eyes. The pool was perfect (when the rain held off!), and what really made our stay extra special was their offer to transport us to and from the wedding, which was a massive help and so appreciated.And of course, we can’t forget Frankie, their friendly French Bulldog, who greeted us with a wag and a warm welcome every time we returned.If you’re looking for a peaceful, unique, and welcoming experience in the French countryside, we’d recommend Lisa and Bryan’s Walnut Lodge again and again. From the comfort and charm of the property to the kindness and hospitality of our hosts, we truly couldn’t fault our stay.Top tip: Make sure you have a car to explore the surrounding area with ease.– Michael & Jade"

"Great location, with everything we needed. The accommodation was a short drive to Loche which offered some great restaurants and local markets. We also had the opportunity to see the Tour de France as it went through a local village 30 mins drive away. Pascal was always on hand if we needed her, however we were happy to be left alone to enjoy our holiday. Great holiday, thank you. "

"A very warm welcome, a super comfortable room, magnificent evening meal and perfect breakfast. What more can we say."

"We were very pleased with our suite. It was clean, the air conditioning worked well. Plenty of room for our dog plus a balcony. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our dinner in the restaurant was superb and breakfast excellent. We would certainly stay again."

"Great location close to the centre of the town. The buffet breakfast was good and had plenty to choose from savoury and sweet. Our room with kitchenette was lovely and, for me, the pool was the icing on the cake as I love to swim."

"Excellent! "

"Quiet room air conditioned. breakfast good, Staff helpful, restaurant nearby was excellent. No electric local charging point that was compatible with UK credit card was a problem and required travelling to Tours to recharge vehicle."

"The chateau was beautiful and peaceful. We didn’t use the pool but it looked lovely. The view from our bedroom overlooked the gardens and we just loved it"
